Well, you could use my method but instead of making it a huge string, save each string to a list:
In your class, define a new variable:
Then, use this code:
To get something from the list, use this:
ArrayList<String> out = new ArrayList<String>();
public void load() throws Exception
{
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("a.txt"));
int num = 0; //File Line Count
String t = "";
int start = Integer.parseInt(in.readLine()); //First number in file
while((t = in.readLine()) != null) //Ensures that there is something to read
{
num++; //Increase num by 1
//do stuff with the string 't' which has each line of file every time
out.add(t); //Adds the contents of the line to the list
}
in.close();
} String thirdLine = out.get(2); //subtract one from wanted line.
